REF: DEC: REV: RIOT: In Colombia, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets Thursday in the largest national strike the country has seen in years. Labor unions, students, teachers, Indigenous and Afro-Colombian activists joined in peaceful marches across urban and rural Colombia as anger mounts against right-wing President Iv n Duque and his cabinet. The protests were triggered by Duque's proposed labor reforms and cuts to the pension system, ... Police responded to the movements with repressive tactics and tear gas in the cities of Bogot , Cali and Medell¡n. Colombia's borders with Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil and Per£ were shut down in response to the national strike. Indignation against Duque's government has brewed since the U.S.-backed president took office in August 2018 and social activists have continuously denounced Duque's sabotage of Colombia's historic peace accords, which were signed in 2016 after half a century of war. ... PROTESTER: [translated] This is the sentiment of the people. The people are bored of social injustice. They are killing our social leaders, our cultural identity. Our indigenous communities are in danger. And the economic, political and labor reforms do not benefit the Colombian people.
AMY GOODMAN: ...For more, we go to the city of Cali, Colombia, where we're joined by long-time Colombian activist Manuel Rozental. ... MANUEL ROZENTAL: It's unprecedented, without any doubt. There were millions-not thousands-millions of Colombians marching yesterday. We were at three different marches in the city of Cali yesterday and I had never seen anything like this before. I have to clarify several things. One is this march and this national strike was not convened by any single organization. It's the entire people of this country who are fed up and we just gave ourselves a date and convened ourselves to the street. So nobody, no political party, no social movement, no group, no structure controls this strike. It's a sentiment we all have against a government.
Number two is the mobilization was wonderful. Everybody was out. And their reasons were all the reasons. You have seen the uprising in Chile. You've seen them in Ecuador, everywhere else in Latin America. Everything that has been done wrongly to all the people everywhere has been done against us in Colombia for many, many years....

What government regulation is REALLY used for

Just ANOTHER Government Fairytale?  

The list below will give you an idea of just how common it is for vested interests to ask for government interference to protect themselves from markets and competition, how easily they get that protection, and how they usually disguise it as "regulation."

The Russian Orthodox Church got a bill through the Russian Parliament prohibiting foreign missionaries because Billy Graham, etc. are luring Russians away from the Russian church. Yeltsin hadn't signed the bill yet. --CNN, July 15, 1993 [The bill or a similar one subsequently became law. -lrw]

"Unable to maintain their government-granted monopoly, the powerful railroad interests turned to government to do the regulating and price-fixing which they were unable to do themselves. In fact, the pressure that induced Congress to enact the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 did not come from reformers bemoaning abuses by the powerful railroad interests; it came from the railroad interests themselves, asking Congress to shield them against the harsh winds of competition." -- Dan Smoot, "The Business End Of Government"

"Essentially airline regulation was an organized attempt to keep out competition." --Alfred Kahn, chairman and chief architect of the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) [CAB was the bureaucracy which regulated airline fares and routes. It was the forerunner of FAA. See "The Great Waldo Pepper."]

"Under the licensing provisions," says Rep. John Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, "we give the broadcasters an absolute federally supported and sustained monopoly which denies anybody else the right to broadcast who does not have a license." --"The 'Fairness Doctrine': Keep It Buried!" --Jorge Amador, THE PRAGMATIST, Feb. 1994

Bill recasts phone, cable law. Senate [finally] allows firms to offer competing services --Barbara Woller USA TODAY, JUNE 16-18, 1995 front page headlines [emphasis added]

Harrah's New Orleans agreed to pay 19% of its gross earnings to the Parish of New Orleans in return for a guarantee it would be the only land-based casino allowed. ~"We would be competing with the [river] boats right across the road, so, quite candidly, we wanted a monopoly. That's why we're willing to pay so much in taxes." --Ron Lanczycki of Harrah's of New Orleans, New Orleans Channel 6 Close up, 19 June, 1994 ~11:19am EST

Mini-cabs in London are challenging the 300-year monopoly of the 21,000 traditional "black taxis" because of a legal "loop-hole." By law, only traditional black cabs are allowed to pick up passengers signaling from the curb. However limo service, where people call by phone, is OK. With the advent of cellular phones, an agent on the street can now call a non-traditional cab for you on his cellular because then it's legally considered a limo. The traditional cabs' trade organization is challenging the practice. --CNN, 25 Mar 1994

Central Bankers (CBs) and the modern banking system are by far the most egregious vested interest users of government interference. In fact, since governments create them and only allow one, CBs couldn't exist without it.

And then there's this government regulation that protects banks from competition among themselves - - -

LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON DEPOSITS

As part of the overall pattern of regulation and supervision of banking, it has been customary for state and federal authorities to draw specific lines of demarcation separating the time deposit from the demand deposit functions and to place restrictions on the payment of interest to customers. This has been especially true since the era of the Great Depression. Before that, it was common practice for banks to offer interest on demand deposits. This led to aggressive competition that often took the form of bidding wars, ... --Eric N. Compton, Principles of Banking, (USA: American Bankers Association 1986), p. 118 [At the time Mr. Compton wrote this textbook, he was billed as "Vice President, The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A."]

O.K., since the railroads, airlines, airwaves, casinos, taxi-cabs, banks, and even churches are "regulated" to protect them from us rather than the other way around, it's clear the myth that government regulation protects "we the people" is just another hypocritical government fairytale. 

Below is just one example of how government regulation actually works to, ah, "protect" us in real life - - - 

In 2018, despite ass-u-me_d FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) oversight, there were two instances when the Boeing 737 Max crashed, killing all aboard in both cases.
After the fact, the FAA, with one of the best reputations for regulation in the world, finally grounded the 737 Max. So the FAA was doing it's job, right?

RALPH NADER: ...the FAA knew a lot more than it made out publicly, that it became an abdicator, under pressure from Congress of past years, instead of a regulator. ...in December 2018, after the Indonesian crash, there was a risk assessment by the FAA that these planes - ...the 737 MAX - would have 15 crashes over the 40-year life of the plane, taking 2,900 lives. And that was not released by the FAA, month after month of cover-up. The two people who are responsible for the FAA's abdication Elwell and Ali Bahrami, are still there in the FAA. ...And the board of directors for Boeing, that presided over these trails of criminal negligence and the failure to attend to aerodynamic stability, they're still there. And the CEO, Dennis Muilenburg, paid millions and millions of dollars a year, he's still there.... --Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader Wants a Total Recall of Deadly Planes

But with its stirling reputation, FAA just had a bad year and will straighten things out. Won't they? 

You can judge yourself from past experience. This past experience as explained by whistle blower and Dept. of Transportation Inspector General Mary Schiavo after the 1996 Valujet crash in a Florida swamp -- twenty-four years ago - - -

MARY SCHIAVO: The FAA is known as "the tombstone agency" because it will not make changes until there has been a major crash, until there has been a major loss of life.... The FAA is a safety agency and their sole purpose should be to prevent accidents. And the sad thing is, that in the last ten years they [FAA] have been cited by the National Transportation Safety Board as a factor or a causal factor, one of the contributing factors in some 120 crashes. ...In the instance of FAA oversight and inspection, these same issues were raised in hearing back in 1986 and change was promised and there were Congressional hearings and everybody went up to the hill and made a lot of promises and everyone thought everything was fixed. We had hearings again in 1991. Again everybody went up to the Hill, it was Washington politics with a small p. Promises were made. Everybody went away from the hearings feeling happy and the cameras were off and here we are in 1996, five years later, and the same issues are there again. Unfortunately it's kind of Washington at work and it does not do much to instill comfort and security in the traveling public. --Dept. of Transportation Inspector General Mary Schiavo, Night Line, June 24, 1996

14 days later on July 8, 1996, Mary Schaivo submitted a letter of resignation from her position, returning to civilian life amidtst attacks from Congress accusing her of "airing dirty laundry in public."

A Little Insight Into Palestine and Israel

Liz Michael: The problem with "facts vs. mythology" is that it is often hard to distinguish between the two, and also bring up the difference between "mythology as in something probably true on some level but not totally provable" and "mythology is total bullshit". I mean, talk to any fundamentalist Christian and you will clear hear them assert all manner of thing as "fact" even when it is impossible for it to be true. Oddly enough the Jews, who have been oft maligned in this thread, tend to have a more logical approach than the Christians do to these same writings.

Liz Michael: And the clear "fact vs. mythology" problem that some of y'all have is the term Zionist. Y'all have taken this word from us, given it a different definition than we have for that word, failed to make the distinction, and then use the word as if all Jews are guilty of a handful of things that really only handful of schmucks are. (By the way, you can call them schmucks, it would be more accurate than calling them Zionists.)

 L Reichard White:::::::: Well, in the '70s I respected the Israelis for how they handled the El Al hijackings. And I bought most of the Israeli party line. Further, I suspect a lot of Jewish genes in my family. 

But I got a wake-up call when I ran for Senate 3 in Nevada, and, taking a consistent Libertarian position, endorsed a complete cessation of all taxpayer financed foreign aid. The ADL branded me anti-Semitic because, when asked, I said that included aid to Israel. 

Since, I've recognized the slick PR etc. instieated by AIPAC, etc. and what the Israelis have been doing to the so-called "Palestinians." There's some ego involved I'm sure -- I don't like being made a fool of. If I'm not careful, I find myself emotionally very close to becoming a classic anti-Semite. Jacque -- and Steve Lewis, have pulled me back from the edge several times. 

Dr. Norman Finkelstein -- impeccable dude if you like unemotional facts -- is my favorite current source. This is worth a look. It's telling that he's been under attack ever since he came forward. I keep losing one of his best brief interviews because SOMEBODY keeps getting it taken off youtube.

Liz Michael: Well, the ADL isn't exactly best friends with me and I AM Jewish. I personally think the ADL is essentially just using a racial cover to promote socialism, much like the NAACP has also become. If the ADL REALLY cared about the Jewish people, they would never support gun control. My view of AIPAC is that they don't have to do very much to encourage support of Israel, as most of the Congress is Zionist, and probably a majority of America supports Israel. (I actually do have a small history being on the receiving end of ADL stuff so I know of where you speak.)

Liz Michael: Well, I am fully aware that the Jews do things to the Palestinians and the Palestinians do things to Jews. I wouldn't really take a side except for the fact that the Muslims have already chosen my side for me. As a Jew, a Zionist, a Lesbian, and a Woman, which side would accept me and which side would kill me is already written in stone, and I cannot unwrite it even if I wanted to. It is a shame because I could be a very good peacemaker between the two but the Muslims do not want peace.

Valiant Vetter Crack *the* book L Reichard White - think 1948, 1967, think the thirties and the forties in Germany, think about antisemitism TO THIS DAY in the US.

Where are the Palestinian Holocaust museums Reichard? I've been to several and aside from Gypsies, homosexuals, and a few other fringe groups, I don't recall a mass extermination of any other races or religions besides Jews.

Frankly, I think the USA and the UN should piss off and let the chips fall where they may. The Jews are a warrior race and would kick almost any opponents ass. (Again, 1948, 1967)

I'm not even Jewish and the conversation is pissing me off!

Barbara Whetstine Nutt Pissing YOU off?

Before making statements such as "I don't recall a mass extermination of any other races or religions besides Jews."
THINK
RESEARCH

The powerful and hard-hitting documentary, American Holocaust, is quite possibly the only film that reveals the link between the Nazi holocaust, which claimed at least 6 million Jews, and the American Holocaust which claimed, according to conservative estimates, 19 million Indigenous People.

It is seldom noted anywhere in fact, be it in textbooks or on the internet, that Hitler studied Americas Indian policy, and used it as a model for what he termed the final solution.

He wasnt the only one either. Its not explicitly mentioned in the film, but its well known that members of the National Party government in South Africa studied the American approach before they introduced the system of racial apartheid, which lasted from 1948 to 1994. Other fascist regimes, for instance, in South and Central America, studied the same policy.

Noted even less frequently, Canada's Aboriginal policy was also closely examined for its psychological properties. America always took the more wide-open approach, for example, by decimating the Buffalo to get rid of a primary food source, by introducing pox blankets, and by giving $1 rewards to settlers in return for scalps of Indigenous Men, women, and children, among many, many other horrendous acts. Canada, on the other hand, was more bureaucratic about it. They used what I like to call the gentlemans touch, because instead of extinguishment, Canada sought to remove the Indian from the Man and the Women and the Child, through a long-term, and very specific program of internal breakdown and replacement and called it assimilation. America had its own assimilation program, but Canada was far more technical about it.

Perhaps these points would have been more closely examined in American Holocaust if the film had been completed. The films director, Joanelle Romero, says shes been turned down from all sources of funding since she began putting it together in 1995.

Perhaps its just not good business to invest in something that tells so much truth? In any event, Romero produced a shortened, 29-minute version of the film in 2001, with the hope of encouraging new funders so she could complete American Holocaust. Eight years on, Romero is still looking for funds.

American Holocaust may never become the 90-minute documentary Romero hoped to create, to help expose the most substantial act of genocide that the world has ever seen one that continues even as you read these words.

1980s - over 700,000 Libyans, Grenadians, Somalians, Haitians, Afghanistanis, Sudanese, Brazilians, Argentineans and Yugoslavians killed,

1991 - over 1,000,000 Iraqis killed, including over 500,000 children -- about which Madeline Albright ( then, Secretary of State ) said "their deaths are worth the cost". While George W. Bush owns over 80% of the oil wells in Kuwait, trouble will continue there.

SOME HISTORICAL EXAMPLES OF US INVOLVEMENT IN DIRTY WARS

Over the years, the US government has supported coups that brought a number of repressive and brutal regimes to power, as well as the dirty wars which followed. Chile, Djakarta, El Salvador, Iran - the list goes on. In many cases military regimes replaced democratically elected leaders, and the killing sprees which followed were justified by the US government as necessary to wipe out communism--while being quietly covered up. The following links are meant to provide an introduction to the many notorious incidents that occurred from the 60's to the 80's. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it should begin to shed some light on the long history of questionable US foreign policies.

A CIA-backed coup and massacre in Indonesia in the 1960's may have taken the lives of up to a million people. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/54b/032.html

Thousands of declassified CIA documents reveal that the CIA aided in the overthrow of democratically elected Chilean President Salvador Allende in the 70's, thus putting Augusto Pinochet into power. You may have heard Pinochet's name before: his infamously brutal regime saw thousands killed, tortured, and "disappeared." http://9-11peace.org/r.php3?r=194

Henry Kissinger played a key role in the overthrow of Allende. This article explains his involvement (which he denies in his memoirs), and details the many instances of direct US and CIA involvement in the situation, such as setting up a fascist organization run by a former PR person for the Ford Motor Company. http://www.wsws.org/news/1998/oct1998/kis-o21.shtmlManage
